I called Donna Lynn at our Christian Radio Station and requested something by Chitter and Chatter. She usually plays “Cabin by the Side of the Road”, by Ray and Pap too, if she don’t have too many requests. Chitter and Chatter are my Favorites! …Ken

My Grandpa was born in SW Missouri.

December 30, 2017 at 1:50 pmI did a double take! There for a minute I thought I had missed a day. My calendar had Mar 16th twice this year. I think I sent you a picture.
“Right smart” has another an entirely different meaning in my Appalachian vocabulary also. It was and is often said of me “You’ll have to overlook him. He ain’t right smart you know!”
